Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 18^th December 2021, Captains Trophy 900 yards.

          Saturdays Captains Trophy shoot from 900 yards saw a very warm day that kept a few shooters away but the weather early in the day eased a bit later and with the awnings erected over the shooting points it was much more enjoyable to compete. A predominately light west to north westerly breeze varied from approximately 4 kph to occasional gusts up to 12 kph proving difficult to read for most although there was some steady patches later in the day.

          Graeme Bright resumed his normal abilities for the day with a standout Target Rifle score in the conditions to lead next best Gordon Shepherd by fourteen points with Ron Gibson another two points away followed by Charlie Bennett who had to shoot his second stage with several unfortunate distractions.

          Phil Mahon blitzed the field in F Class using a borrowed rifle after some technical issues with his sights leading Graham Willis by ten points with Geoff Willis a further five points away after losing twelve points in two shots with some sighting issues during his second stage.

          Winner of the Captains Trophy is Phil Mahon (100) with runner up Graeme Bright (98.25).
